I went on a cruise, yes again, in January. It was a Carnival Journey, 14-days on the Carnival Freedom for a partial transit of the Panama Canal and six ports. (I’ll admit, 14 days is wayyyyyy too long for me to be on a cruise ship!) But, it did give me lots of time to make some observations and put together a video.

No, I won’t be talking specifically about the actual cruise (but stay tuned, that video will be coming up!). Instead, I’ll tell you my top 10 things any cruiser needs to know before they pack for (or maybe even book!) their next cruise. And yes, some of these totally frustrate me (TIPS!), and you might just disagree… Watch the video and share your thoughts!

No matter your destination–local to a land far, far away–traveling is an adventure! From inspiration and planning to packing and unpacking, travel is full of potential stress-inducing situations. Whether driving, flying, or maybe even teleporting (that exists, right?!), simply getting to your destination is a challenge. (I can’t even count the number of times I’ve welcomed guests to their vacation only to be met with frustration, agitation, and downright anger after a minor transportation setback!)

It’s critical to start a vacation off on the right foot, and professional travel host can help you do just that!
